Ray Bonneville - Mississippi lyrics

I said M - I double S a' mhhm I, double P - I I'd love to cross over, pretty mama But the water's way too high You see, it rained all night Even harder than tonight or the night before Big mud is a' rising this morning Coming knockin' on my door () (break) Forget about your dirty dishes, pretty mama Let her sister keep your head Stand on your toes, baby brother Don't bother to make your bed () Cry, cry to me, pretty baby Somebody's beautiful wife A whole lot of dirty water comin' down This river change your life
